Description
- The present technique relates to a semiconductor laser driving apparatus. Specifically, the present technique relates to a semiconductor laser driving apparatus and electronic equipment including a substrate incorporating a laser driver and a semiconductor laser and a manufacturing method of the semiconductor laser driving apparatus.
- One of the basic characteristics of a semiconductor laser is the output characteristic of laser light with respect to the injected current, which is generally called the I-L characteristic of the semiconductor laser. When a threshold current lth (oscillation start current) at which the laser starts to emit light is exceeded, laser oscillation starts, and light output rapidly and linearly increases along with the applied current. In practice, it is better to make the threshold current smaller. In addition, the ratio (inclination) of an increase ΔL in light output to an increase ΔI in current is called differential quantum efficiency ηp [mW/mA], and represents the degree of an increase in light intensity when the current is increased. The greater the inclination, the better the characteristics. The semiconductor laser is susceptible to a temperature rise, and the deterioration of the semiconductor laser caused by the increased threshold current, the output drop due to deteriorated differential quantum efficiency, or the like can be confirmed. As a cooling mechanism for such a semiconductor laser driving apparatus, an air-cooled type in which heat generated in the semiconductor laser driving apparatus is radiated by air, or a water-cooled type used by being connected to a circulating cooling water supply apparatus (chiller) and the like has been known.
- For example, proposed is a laser driving apparatus that includes a semiconductor laser heat-radiation member for radiating heat generated from a semiconductor laser array; a fiber laser heat-radiation member for radiating heat generated from an optical fiber for a fiber laser; a cooling fan for blowing cooling air; and a guide member for guiding the cooling air blown from the cooling fan (refer to, for example, PTL 1). In addition, proposed is an electronic equipment cooling structure that has a radiator having a heat pipe bent in an L-shape, a plurality of heat-radiation fins attached to a substantially horizontal portion of the heat pipe, and a heat receiving plate to which substantially vertical portions of a plurality of heat pipes are attached; a plurality of pieces of electronic equipment attached to the heat receiving plate; and a storage container for storing the plurality of pieces of electronic equipment (refer to, for example, PTL 2). Further, proposed is a thin heat sink that includes a plurality of thin plate-like bodies that includes a cavity portion for storing a centrifugal fan, is laminated at predetermined intervals, and includes an air guiding portion; at least one heat-radiation fin portion that is connected to an end of each thin plate-like body and through which air guided to the air guiding portion of the thin plate-like bodies passes; and at least one heat pipe one end of which is thermally connected to portions of the thin plate-like bodies thermally connected to a heating component, the other end of which is thermally connected to the heat-radiation fin portion, and at least a part of which is arranged with a space portion between the thin plate-like bodies (refer to, for example, PTL 3).

The description will be given in the following order.
- 1. First embodiment (example in which side walls are filled with heat storage material)
- 2. Second embodiment (example in which side walls cover region including bonding wire)
- 3. Third embodiment (example of using MUF)
- 4. Fourth embodiment (example of using CUF)
- 5. Application example
-
FIG. 1 is a diagram for illustrating an example of a top view of a semiconductorlaser driving apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present technique. - The semiconductor
laser driving apparatus 10 assumes measurement of a distance by ToF. ToF is high in depth accuracy although not as high as the structured light, and has such a characteristic that it can operate in a dark environment without any problem. In addition, ToF is considered to have many advantages as compared with other systems such as the structured light and the stereo camera in terms of the simplicity of the apparatus configuration and cost. - In the semiconductor
laser driving apparatus 10, asemiconductor laser 300, aphotodiode 400, and apassive component 500 are electrically connected by wire bonding and mounted on the surface of asubstrate 100 incorporating alaser driver 200. As thesubstrate 100, a printed wiring board is assumed. - The
semiconductor laser 300 is a semiconductor device that emits laser light by allowing a current to flow through a PN junction of a compound semiconductor. Specifically, a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is assumed. Here, as the compound semiconductor to be used, for example, aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs), indium gallium arsenide phosphorus (InGaAsP), aluminum gallium indium phosphorus (AlGaInP), gallium nitride (GaN), and the like are assumed. - The
laser driver 200 is a driver integrated circuit (IC) for driving thesemiconductor laser 300. Thelaser driver 200 is incorporated in thesubstrate 100 in a face-up state. Regarding the electrical connection between thelaser driver 200 and thesemiconductor laser 300, since the wiring inductance needs to be reduced, it is desirable to make the wiring length as short as possible. This specific value will be described later. - The
photodiode 400 is a diode for detecting light. Thephotodiode 400 is used for APC (Automatic Power Control) for maintaining the output of thesemiconductor laser 300 constant by monitoring the light intensity of thesemiconductor laser 300. - The
passive component 500 is a circuit component other than active elements such as a capacitor and a resistor. Thepassive component 500 includes a decoupling capacitor for driving thesemiconductor laser 300. -
FIG. 2 is a diagram for illustrating an example of a cross-sectional view of the semiconductorlaser driving apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present technique. - As described above, the
substrate 100 incorporates thelaser driver 200, and thesemiconductor laser 300 and the like are mounted on the surface thereof. The connection between thesemiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200 on thesubstrate 100 is made via a connection via 101. The wiring length can be shortened by use of the connection via 101. It should be noted that the connection via 101 is an example of the connection wiring described in the claims. - The
semiconductor laser 300, thephotodiode 400, and thepassive component 500 mounted on the surface of thesubstrate 100 are surrounded byside walls 600. Eachside wall 600 has a recessed portion, and each recessed portion is filled with aheat storage material 610. Theheat storage material 610 causes a phase change below the limit temperature at which the semiconductorlaser driving apparatus 10 can be used. - As the
heat storage material 610, vanadium oxide, a paraffin-based heat storage material, a PCM (Phase Change Material) sheet, or the like is assumed. The thermal conductivities of these materials are, for example, 10 to 250 watts per meter Kelvin (W/m·K). In addition, the latent heat is, for example, 50 to 510 joules per gram (J/g). The heat storage material such as vanadium oxide is used for air conditioning of houses, heat and cold insulation during transportation, and the like. - Vanadium oxide is solid at room temperature, is relatively easy to handle as powder, and has high latent heat as compared with a paraffin-based heat storage material. On the other hand, vanadium oxide has high density as compared with the paraffin-based heat storage material. In addition, the paraffin-based heat storage material becomes a gel state from a solid state at a temperature of 80°C or higher, but can easily be handled when contained in a microcapsule. It should be noted that what is obtained by having a paraffin-based heat storage material contained in a microcapsule is also called a thermo-memory.
- The upper surface surrounded by the
side walls 600 is covered with adiffusion plate 700. Thediffusion plate 700 is an optical element for diffusing the laser light from thesemiconductor laser 300, and is also called a diffuser. -
FIG. 3 depicts diagrams each illustrating the definition of an amount of overlap between thelaser driver 200 and thesemiconductor laser 300 according to the embodiment of the present technique. - As described above, since the connection between the
semiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200 is assumed to be made via the connection via 101, thesemiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200 are arranged while being overlapped one on another when viewed from the upper surface. On the other hand, it is desirable to provide a thermal via on the lower surface of thesemiconductor laser 300, and it is also necessary to secure a region therefor. Accordingly, in order to clarify the positional relation between thelaser driver 200 and thesemiconductor laser 300, the amount of overlap between the two is defined as follows. - In the arrangement illustrated in a of
FIG. 3 , there is no overlap region between the two when viewed from the upper surface. The overlap amount in this case is defined as 0%. On the other hand, in the arrangement illustrated in c ofFIG. 3 , theentire semiconductor laser 300 overlaps thelaser driver 200 when viewed from the upper surface. The overlap amount in this case is defined as 100%. - Then, in the arrangement illustrated in b of
FIG. 3 , the half region of thesemiconductor laser 300 overlaps thelaser driver 200 when viewed from the upper surface. The overlap amount in this case is defined as 50%. - In the embodiment, the overlap amount is desirably larger than 0% to provide a region for the above-described connection via 101. On the other hand, when considering that a certain number of thermal vias are to be arranged directly under the
semiconductor laser 300, the overlap amount is desirably 50% or less. Thus, by making the overlap amount larger than 0% but 50% or less, the wiring inductance is reduced, and excellent heat radiation characteristics can be obtained. - As described above, the wiring inductance becomes a problem in the connection between the
semiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200. All conductors have an inductive component, and even an inductance of an extremely short lead wire may cause adverse effects in high frequency regions such as a ToF system. That is, when a high frequency operation is performed, the driving waveform for driving thesemiconductor laser 300 from thelaser driver 200 is distorted due to the influence of the wiring inductance, and the operation may become unstable. - Here, a theoretical equation for calculating the wiring inductance is examined. For example, the inductance IDC [µH] of a straight lead wire having a circular cross section with a length L [mm] and a radius R [mm] is represented in free space by the following equation. Note that ln represents the natural logarithm.
-
-
FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 illustrate the preliminary calculation of the wiring inductance [nH] between the laser driver incorporated inside the printed wiring board and the semiconductor laser electrically connected to an upper portion of the printed wiring board. -
FIG. 4 is a diagram for illustrating a numerical example of a wiring inductance with respect to a wiring length L and a wiring width W in the case where a wiring pattern is formed by an additive method. The additive method is a method of forming a pattern by depositing copper only on a necessary part of an insulating resin surface. -
FIG. 5 is a diagram for illustrating a numerical example of the wiring inductance with respect to the wiring length L and the wiring width W in the case where a wiring pattern is formed by a subtractive method. The subtractive is a method of forming a pattern by etching an unnecessary part of a copper-clad laminate. - In the case of a semiconductor laser driving apparatus such as a ToF system, when assuming to drive at several hundred megahertz, the wiring inductance is desirably 0.5 nH or less, and more preferably 0.3 nH or less. Thus, when considering the above-described preliminary calculation result, it is considered that the wiring length between the
semiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200 is desirably 0.5 millimeters or less, and more preferably 0.3 millimeters or less. -
FIG. 6 andFIG. 7 are diagrams each illustrating an example of a process of processing a copper land and copper redistribution layer (RDL) in a manufacturing process of thelaser driver 200 of the embodiment of the present technique. - First, as illustrated in a of
FIG. 6 , an I/O pad 210 made of, for example, aluminum or the like is formed on a semiconductor wafer. Then, a protectiveinsulating layer 220 such as SiN is deposited on the surface, and a region of the I/O pad 210 is opened. - Next, as illustrated in b of
FIG. 6 , a surfaceprotective film 230 made of polyimide (PI) or polybenzoxazole (PBO) is deposited, and a region of the I/O pad 210 is opened. - Then, as illustrated in c of
FIG. 6 , titanium tungsten (TiW) of approximately several tens to hundreds nm and copper (Cu) of approximately 100 to 1000 nm are sequentially sputtered to form an adhesion layer andseed layer 240. Here, in addition to titanium tungsten (TiW), a refractory metal such as chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), titanium copper (TiCu), or platinum (Pt), or an alloy thereof may be applied to the adhesion layer. Further, in addition to copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), silver (Ag), gold (Au), or an alloy thereof may be applied to the seed layer. - Subsequently, as illustrated in d of
FIG. 7 , aphotoresist 250 is patterned in order to form a copper land and copper redistribution layer for electrical bonding. Specifically, the copper land and copper redistribution layer for electrical bonding is formed by each of processes of surface cleaning, resist coating, drying, exposure, and development. - Then, as illustrated in e of
FIG. 7 , a copper land and copper redistribution layer (RDL) 260 for electrical bonding is formed on the adhesion layer andseed layer 240 by a plating method. Here, as the plating method, for example, an electrolytic copper plating method, an electrolytic nickel plating method, or the like can be used. In addition, it is desirable that the diameter of the copper land be approximately 50 to 100 micrometers, the thickness of the copper redistribution layer be approximately 3 to 10 micrometers, and the minimum width of the copper redistribution layer be approximately 10 micrometers. - Next, as illustrated in f of
FIG. 7 , thephotoresist 250 is removed, and the copper land and copper redistribution layer (RDL) 260 of the semiconductor chip is masked and dry-etched. Here, as the dry etching, for example, ion milling for applying an argon ion beam can be used. An unnecessary region of the adhesion layer andseed layer 240 can be selectively removed by the dry etching, and the copper land and copper redistribution layers are separated from each other. It should be noted that the unnecessary region can be removed by wet etching using an aqueous solution of aqua regia, cerium (TV) nitrate ammonium, or potassium hydroxide, but is desirably removed by dry etching in consideration of side etching and thickness reduction of metal layers configuring the copper land and copper redistribution layer. -
FIG. 8 to FIG. 12 are diagrams each illustrating an example of a manufacturing process of thesubstrate 100 according to the embodiment of the present technique. - First, as illustrated in a of
FIG. 8 , apeelable copper foil 130 having a two-layer structure of anultra-thin copper foil 132 and acarrier copper foil 131 is thermocompression bonded to one surface of asupport plate 110 via anadhesive resin layer 120 by roll laminating or laminating press. - As the
support plate 110, a substrate made of an inorganic material, a metal material, a resin material, or the like can be used. For example, silicon (Si), glass, ceramic, copper, a copper-based alloy, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, stainless steel, a polyimide resin, or an epoxy resin can be used. - The
carrier copper foil 131 having a thickness of 18 to 35 micrometers is vacuum-adhered to theultra-thin copper foil 132 having a thickness of 2 to 5 micrometers, to be used as thepeelable copper foil 130. As thepeelable copper foil 130, for example, 3FD-P3/35 (made by Furukawa Circuit Foil Co., Ltd.), MT-18S5DH (made by MITSUI MINING & SMELTING CO., LTD.), or the like can be used. - As a resin material of the
adhesive resin layer 120, an organic resin containing a reinforcing material of a glass fiber, such as an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a PPE resin, a phenol resin, a PTFE resin, a silicon resin, a polybutadiene resin, a polyester resin, a melamine resin, a urea resin, a PPS resin, and a PPO resin can be used. In addition, as the reinforcing material, an aramid nonwoven fabric, an aramid fiber, a polyester fiber, or the like can be used in addition to the glass fiber. - Next, as illustrated in b of
FIG. 8 , a plating base conductive layer (not illustrated) having a thickness of 0.5 to 3 micrometers is formed on the surface of theultra-thin copper foil 132 of thepeelable copper foil 130 by an electroless copper plating treatment. It should be noted that, in the electroless copper plating treatment, a conductive layer is formed as a base of electrolytic copper plating for forming a wiring pattern next. However, by omitting the electroless copper plating treatment, an electrode for electrolytic copper plating may be brought into direct contact with thepeelable copper foil 130, and an electrolytic copper plating treatment may be directly applied on thepeelable copper foil 130 to form a wiring pattern. - Then, as illustrated in c of
FIG. 8 , a photosensitive resist is pasted on the surface of the support plate by roll laminating, to form a resist pattern (solder resist 140) for a wiring pattern. As the photosensitive resist, for example, a plating resist of a dry film can be used. - Subsequently, as illustrated in d of
FIG. 8 , awiring pattern 150 having a thickness of approximately 15 micrometers is formed by an electrolytic copper plating treatment. - Then, as illustrated in e of
FIG. 9 , the plating resist is peeled off. Then, as a pretreatment for forming an interlayer insulating resin, the surface of the wiring pattern is roughened to improve the adhesion between the interlayer insulating resin and the wiring pattern. It should be noted that the roughening treatment can be performed by a blackening treatment by an oxidation/reduction treatment or a soft etching treatment using a sulfuric acid hydrogen peroxide mixture. - Next, as illustrated in f of
FIG. 9 , aninterlayer insulating resin 161 is thermocompression bonded on the wiring pattern by roll laminating or laminating press. For example, an epoxy resin having a thickness of 45 micrometers is roll-laminated. In the case where a glass epoxy resin is used, copper foils having any thickness are superposed and thermocompression bonded by laminating press. As a resin material of theinterlayer insulating resin 161, an organic resin such as an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a PPE resin, a phenol resin, a PTFE resin, a silicon resin, a polybutadiene resin, a polyester resin, a melamine resin, a urea resin, a PPS resin, and a PPO resin can be used. In addition, these resins alone or a combination of resins obtained by mixing a plurality of resins or preparing a compound can be used. Further, an interlayer insulating resin obtained by containing an inorganic filler in these materials or mixing a reinforcing material of a glass fiber can also be used. - Then, as illustrated in g of
FIG. 9 , a via hole for interlayer electrical connection is formed by a laser method or a photoetching method. In the case where theinterlayer insulating resin 161 is a thermosetting resin, the via hole is formed by a laser method. As a laser beam, an ultraviolet laser such as a harmonic YAG laser or an excimer laser or an infrared laser such as a carbon dioxide gas laser can be used. It should be noted that, in the case where the via hole is formed by a laser beam, a desmear treatment is performed because a thin resin film may remain at the bottom of the via hole. In the desmear treatment, the resin is swollen by a strong alkali, and the resin is decomposed and removed by using an oxidizing agent such as chromic acid or a permanganate aqueous solution. In addition, the resin can also be removed by a plasma treatment or a sandblasting treatment by an abrasive material. In the case where theinterlayer insulating resin 161 is a photosensitive resin, the viahole 170 is formed by a photoetching method. That is, the viahole 170 is formed by development after exposure using ultraviolet rays through a mask. - Next, after the roughening treatment, an electroless plating treatment is performed on the wall surface of the via
hole 170 and the surface of theinterlayer insulating resin 161. Then, a photosensitive resist is pasted by roll laminating on the surface of theinterlayer insulating resin 161 subjected to the electroless plating treatment. As the photosensitive resist in this case, for example, a photosensitive plating resist film of a dry film can be used. The photosensitive plating resist film is exposed and then developed, so that a plating resist pattern with the portion of the viahole 170 and the portion of the wiring pattern being opened is formed. Subsequently, the opening portions of the plating resist pattern are subjected to a treatment of applying an electrolytic copper plating having a thickness of 15 micrometers. Then, the plating resist is peeled off, and the electroless plating remaining on the interlayer insulating resin is removed by flash etching using a sulfuric acid hydrogen peroxide mixture or the like, so that the viahole 170 filled with copper plating and the wiring pattern as illustrated in h ofFIG. 9 are formed. Then, the similar steps of roughening the wiring pattern and forming theinterlayer insulating resin 162 are repeated. - Subsequently, as illustrated in i of
FIG. 10 , thelaser driver 200 with a die attach film (DAF) 290 obtained by processing the copper land and copper redistribution layer with a thickness reduced to approximately 30 to 50 micrometers is mounted in a face-up state. - Then, as illustrated in j of
FIG. 10 , theinterlayer insulating resin 163 is thermocompression bonded by roll laminating or laminating press. - Next, as illustrated in k of
FIG. 10 and l ofFIG. 11 , the via hole processing, the desmear treatment, the roughening treatment, the electroless plating treatment, and the electrolytic plating treatment similar to the above are performed. It should be noted that processing of a shallow viahole 171 for the copper land of thelaser driver 200 and processing of a deep viahole 172 located one layer below, the desmear treatment, and the roughening treatment are performed simultaneously. - Here, the shallow via
hole 171 is a filled via filled with copper plating. Each of the size and depth of the via is approximately 20 to 30 micrometers. In addition, the size of the diameter of the land is approximately 60 to 80 micrometers. - On the other hand, the deep via
hole 172 is what is generally called a conformal via in which copper plating is applied only to the outside of the via. Each of the size and depth of the via is approximately 80 to 150 micrometers. In addition, the size of the diameter of the land is approximately 150 to 200 micrometers. It should be noted that it is desirable that the deep viahole 172 be arranged via an insulating resin of approximately 100 micrometers from the outer shape of thelaser driver 200. - Next, as illustrated in m of
FIG. 11 , the interlayer insulating resin similar to the above is thermocompression bonded by roll laminating or laminating press. At this time, the inside of the conformal via is filled with the interlayer insulating resin. Then, the via hole processing, the desmear treatment, the roughening treatment, the electroless plating treatment, and the electrolytic plating treatment similar to the above are performed. - Subsequently, as illustrated in n of
FIG. 11 , thesupport plate 110 is separated by being peeled off from the interface between thecarrier copper foil 131 and theultra-thin copper foil 132 of thepeelable copper foil 130. - Then, as illustrated in o of
FIG. 12 , by removing theultra-thin copper foil 132 and the plating base conductive layer with use of sulfuric acid-hydrogen peroxide-based soft etching, it is possible to obtain a component-incorporated substrate with the wiring pattern exposed. - Next, as illustrated in p of
FIG. 12 , a solder resist 180 of a pattern having an opening at the land portion of the wiring pattern is printed on the exposed wiring pattern. It should be noted that the solder resist 180 can be formed by a roll coater with use of a film type. Then, an electroless Ni plating of 3 micrometers or more is formed at the land portion of the opening of the solder resist 180, and an electroless Au plating of 0.03 micrometers or more is formed thereon. The electroless Au plating may be formed by one micrometer or more. Further, solder can be precoated thereon. Alternatively, an electrolytic Ni plating of 3 micrometers or more may be formed at the opening of the solder resist 180, and an electrolytic Au plating of 0.5 micrometers or more may be formed thereon. Further, other than the metal plating, an organic rust preventive film may be formed at the opening of the solder resist 180. - In addition, a BGA (Ball Grid Array) of solder balls may be mounted on the land for external connection by printing and applying cream solder as a connection terminal. In addition, as the connection terminal, a copper core ball, a copper pillar bump, a land grid array (LGA), or the like may be used.
- The
semiconductor laser 300, thephotodiode 400, and thepassive component 500 are mounted on the surface of thesubstrate 100 thus manufactured as described above, and theside walls 600 and thediffusion plate 700 are attached thereto. In general, after performing the processing in the form of an aggregate substrate, the outer shape is processed by a dicer or the like to be separated into individual pieces. - It should be noted that, although the example of using the
peelable copper foil 130 and thesupport plate 110 has been described in the above process, a copper clad laminate (CCL) can be used instead. In addition, as the manufacturing method of incorporating the component into the substrate, a method of forming a cavity in the substrate and mounting the same may be used. -

FIG. 13 , thesemiconductor laser 300 is die-attached on thesubstrate 100 incorporating thelaser driver 200 by conductive paste, and abonding wire 302 is formed. Accordingly, thesemiconductor laser 300 and the wiring of thesubstrate 100 are electrically connected to each other. - Next, as illustrated in b of
FIG. 13 , theside walls 600 are formed around the region where thesemiconductor laser 300 is mounted. Eachside wall 600 has a recessed portion.

laser driving apparatus 10 having theheat storage material 610 in the recessed portions of theside walls 600 is formed. - As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present technique, the electrical connection between the
semiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200 is made via the connection via 101, so that the wiring inductance can be reduced. Specifically, the wiring inductance can be reduced to 0.5 nanohenries or less by making the wiring length between them 0.5 millimeters or less. In addition, by making the amount of overlap between thesemiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200 50% or less, a certain number of thermal vias can be arranged directly under thesemiconductor laser 300, and excellent heat radiation characteristics can be obtained. - In addition, in the first embodiment, it is possible to realize highly efficient heat transfer although the structure is simple. According to this structure, since the
heat storage material 610 temporarily stores the heat generated in thesemiconductor laser 300 and thelaser driver 200, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the entire semiconductorlaser driving apparatus 10 from rising. In this case, the heat generated is radiated from theheat storage material 610 to the mother board and the atmosphere under the condition that the heat generation from each component is small. Accordingly, the temperature rise of the heat source of the semiconductorlaser driving apparatus 10 is suppressed, and high-quality laser emission characteristics can be obtained. - In the above-described first embodiment, the
